Some campsites have got ridiculously expensive. I've been searching for Easter, and some were wanting almost £50+ a night! Now, it's just me & hubby, 2 dogs in a T5 campervan + an awning. We don't have a huge caravan with a full size awning using multiple electrical appliances and 2 or 3 children which would probably then make it better value.
I want a quietish site, clean functional washblocks and EHU. A small onsite shop is a bonus, as is a cafe or takeaway onsite or nearby. But ideally, I don't want to pay much more than £30 a night.
I really do think you need to shop around these days and re-evaluate what you really need!

A unit is a unit, whether it is motorhome, a campervan, a big caravan or a small caravan. An awning is an awning no matter if it is tiny or "full size". EHU is EHU (unless you are metered). 2 adults are 2 adults, etc, etc. Perhaps you could search for sites that don't charge extra for dogs and awnings ? Or maybe leave the awning at home, especially in April ? Anyhow, if you don't want to pay more than 30 pn .... don't !

We take our awning to give us the extra space, somewhere to cook/eat and to dry off wet dogs and take off wet clothing before going into the camper. Also, our dogs aren't small dogs!
There are sites out there that don't charge extra for awnings and/or dogs. If the site is already, imo reasonably priced, I don't object to a small additional cost for the dogs if they have facilities for them i.e. dog walk/field, poop bins or even a dog wash which some sites have these days.
But, I do object to those that are maybe charging an extra £3 or £4 a night per dog and then stating "NO DOGS TO BE EXERCISED ON SITE". We do understand some sites don't have capacity to cater for dogs so then please don't charge us! We are responsible and will walk them offsite but they need to get from our pitch to the site entrance first.
